Waiting In The Wings

How do we know that the candidates that are running for President of the United States are the ones that should be President? How do we know that there is not one special individual that is waiting in the wings, waiting to come forward to be the next President?

One Nation Under God

Think About This:

When GOD chose David to be King he was nothing more than a shepherd boy. He was not a Millionaire or a Billionaire, or a Rhodes or Fabian Scholar but just a man. It will take a man who knows the needs of the people one with common sense and not one who was a previous office holder. Maybe the next President of the United States will be just a man. It will take a just man one who is chosen by GOD to defend the rights of the people and their Nation. One who when he speaks the words will flow from his lips as does honey from a hive.

Hungry & Poor:

Have you ever been so poor that you had no idea where your next paycheck was coming from? Or if you were going to be able to have a birthday cake for your son or daughter’s birthday, and not just a cup cake with one candle on it.

If you are one of the many that have had this problem than you are not alone. It is a terrible feeling for you to look into your child’s eyes and know that for now this is the best that you can do. I know what it is like and it brings tears to my eyes to put this on my website for you to read. Because I know many of you right now are suffering the same way that I once did.

Think about this, the United States is the richest most powerful nation in the world and yet we cannot house the poor, nor can we feed the hungry. When was the last time you walked across the street to help your neighbor? Does anyone understand what it’s like for the average person or family to live from day to day not knowing where his or her paycheck is coming from? Or living with bars on their doors and windows to keep their families safe from harm.

How many times has someone done something wrong and paid for their mistake and yet they are being held captive by the very system that put them there. I think they already know the wrong that they have done. Ok they were punished but yet they have no means of support. What they need is a helping hand to get back on the right track and become useful citizens again. Isn’t it nice to know that you have a job and that you can pay your bills and put food on the table for you and your family by earning a living and not living off the backs of others. It’s called self-esteem!

When you were hired in as an employee of a company were you asked if you were a Democrat or a Republican or were you hired because you were the right person for the job? Maybe it’s time that we get Washington off our backs, out of our lives, and out of our wallets, by Putting American’s Back in Charge!

Sold Out:

The logo up above of the American Flag shows that I served this country; the lunch box and the hardhat shows that I am a working man; and the smoke stacks in the background shows our industry fading away.

That is exactly what has happened. Our industry has left or been traded away at the expense of the American people. Work has gone over seas with NAFTA or GATT but will the American people finally realize what has happened to their Great Country?

I also think that we are now in what is nothing more than an inverted pyramid. What was once the top of the pinnacle is now trickled down to nothing at the bottom. It seems that the only solution that our Government can offer us for work is flipping burgers at McDonalds and increasing the minimum wage, and I believe that there has got to be a better way.

In my area alone most of the industry is gone. Take the average Steelworker making $75,000.00 a year and the loss of 150,000 jobs. That equates to $11 billion 250 million in revenues and that is just in the area that I live in alone. Since 2001 we have lost 5.1 million Steel Jobs. I believe it is time that we stand up for the American Workers and American Manufacturing. Because it is vital to our Economic and National Security.

Not only the wealth, but the independence and security of a country, appear to be materially connected with the prosperity of manufactures. Every Nation… ought to endeavor to possess within itself all the essentials of national supply. These comprise the means of subsistence, habitation, clothing and defense.

Report on Manufactures, 1791

Secretary of the Treasury

The American Worker:

I believe that everyone has the right to work in this country. Whether it is the union worker in our industry, or the mom and pop stores that fill the country on a smaller scale. No one should be denied the right to make a living to feed his or her family.

There is so much work in this Country with infrastructure that we actually do not have enough skilled people to fill all the positions needed to rebuild the Country from the inside out. You hear about it on the news virtually every day about the failure of roads, bridges, water and sewer lines, but do we have the people to fill those positions and the answer is no.

Do you realize the amount of trade people that are needed to fill the positions that would be required of them? I believe that we would have more work than we have people to fill those positions.

Remember that it was the unions back in the early 1900’s that brought about the safe work ethics in this country. They made it safe for men and women to earn a decent living and not be hurt by unsafe practices that happened long ago. Don’t begrudge them and their organizations for trying to protect all the men and women of this country by keeping them safe and giving them a standard by which to live by.

By the same token don’t begrudge the small business man or women for earning a living. They are selling a service to those who are less fortunate income wise by providing them with a helping hand to a problem that hits home with all of us.

We need to remember that this country needs to be rebuilt from the inside out and I think this is where the unions and small business would play a large part and be beneficial in helping the cause. We need to be able to train the people needed to do the work, and it just so happens that the unions are already set up to train people because they already have the training facilities in place. You’re talking of the Carpenters, Steelworks, Electrician’s, Pipefitters, Masons, Plasters, and the list goes on.

Remember whether you are a union or a non-union shop that we are all brothers and sisters in the work place. Somewhere someone is doing what he or she can to survive. Step up and give a helping hand to your fellow worker because some day your job may depend on the help of one another.

Solution:

Let’s take the shackles off of the large corporations and let them survive that are based and operating within the US borders. They should pay little or no taxes providing that they and their profits are also banked in US banks. Who cares if they pay taxes or not especially if they are employing millions of people that are making a living and paying taxes themselves?

Remember those same people in the work place are the ones who will have the money to buy the product they make. Besides if you own stock in that company that you work for aren’t you going to reap the rewards on your stock options? And what about the profits that the corporations make that are sitting in foreign banks? People here are waiting to borrow that money for home improvements, and business loans if those funds were available to the people at home and not overseas. Right now those same companies have shuffled their funds off shore to other ports for little or no taxation.

What about the stimulus money and foreign aid? I did not see any one giving any of the small business’s any of that stimulus money. What people do not realize is that small business makes up the bulk of the workforce in this Country. What about the foreign aid to other countries. Why are we not taking care of our own people first? The United States is the richest most powerful nation in the world and yet we cannot house the poor nor can we feed our hungry.

Let’s bring the money and our American business’s back home where they belong. We need the work here. We can build the windmills we can forge the steel we have the know-how and the technology to make it happen.

Government Control:

When Germany went to dominate the world it first started with its own Country and its people. By taking control of the way they would live and think and the things they could or could not do. Our Government thinks that we should have our own internal peace keeping force. Back then they were called Brown Shirts!

Definition of Democide:Democide is the murder of any person or people by a government, including genocide, politicide and mass murder. Democide is not necessarily the elimination of entire cultural groups but rather groups within the country that the government feels need to be eradicated for political reasons and due to claimed future threats.

It is now April 18th 1775 and the British are now on American soil and they are marching to take away are arms and munitions. The first shot actually came sometime after day break early in the morning of the 19th. No one knows who fired the first shot but the American Revolution officially started that morning. I wonder have the American people succumb to forgetting how the early colonialists fought for our freedom and the tyranny that is being brought on us today by our Government and its leaders?

Under the 2nd Amendment, you have the Right to Bear Arms to protect yourself from the tyranny of Government and those who wish to do you harm.

There’s a good reason the Founders put the right to bear arms as the 2nd Amendment, right behind freedom of speech, press, religion and assembly. History shows that when governments register or confiscate guns from its citizens, bad things happen. Historians estimate the number of people killed by their own government in the 20th century is anywhere from 169 million to 260 million. In almost every instance, governments took away citizens’ right to defend themselves and this led to mass murder or “democide.”

During World War II, Japan had just attacked Pearl Harbor and there was nothing in its way to stop it from attacking the West Coast. But what really stopped Japan was that they knew virtually every house hold had a gun to defend their lives and their property, and they knew that they could not conquer us on our own shores.

Remember people should not be afraid of their government, government should be afraid of their people. When the people fear their government it is tyranny, but when the government fears the people there is liberty.

“Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.” (Benjamin Franklin)

Imprisoned:

Are we the American people really prisoners in our own Country? Are we not being held captive by our own Government?

I look at what is going on in our Country today, and I see the freedom that was given to us by our forefathers is slowly being taken away from us right before our very eyes. It is appearing in many forms and fashions but it is truly there. It seems that there is only a hand full of people that are making the decisions for us, but it seems that everyone is falling into lock step with the Government programs that are being placed on us today.

Now more than ever more and more people are now being placed on food stamps, and well fare. So now we have also pitted the Black against the White, and the Rich against the Poor, and the Poor against the less Poor. We are told what is good for us to eat and we are now being told that it is the wealthy and big business that is under mining this great land. When it is in fact the Government that is undermining the Country and its People.

It was not long ago when many of us were in school learning the 3 R’s. I know that things have changed but not to the extent that our educational system is failing or has failed. I believe that we should consult the teachers and parents of the Country about what is good for our children and not some bureaucrat in Washington. It’s time we brought our children up to speed with the rest of the world, and taught them to become useful citizens, and not mindless robots without any hope for tomorrow.

Will the people open their eyes or is it too late for the many children that are being taught that part, of our history means nothing to us and our heritage. Or could it be that the warriors of past wars are slowly dying off and there is no one left to defend the rights of its citizens?

Winston Churchill said that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Decades of the dumbing down of public education and mass media have made tens of millions of Americans ignorant of even basic world history.

Government Employee’s:

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: “Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States.”

With annual salaries more than triple that of the average American worker, short work weeks and an array of benefits that would make most CEO’s jealous, it’s no wonder members of Congress can’t manage the nation’s budget. That’s why the nation is more than $17.6 trillion in debt and needs to borrow 46 cents out to every dollar it’s spending this year. And it’s a big reason why Congress can never seem to figure out how to solve any of America’s most pressing fiscal problems. Congress hasn’t even passed a budget in four years, even though it is required by law to do so every year. You won’t believe how well these folks live – and every dime that pays for this lavish lifestyle comes straight out of the pockets of taxpayers. (by DAVID ZEILER, Associate Editor, Money Morning March 1, 2013)

How about the Congressman and Senators having term limits with no special benefits factored in for themselves, including pay raises, health insurance, retirement, and of course money and perks from the lobbyist. They originally went to Washington to serve the people and not to make a political career out of it. Our Representative’s earn approximately 4 times that of the average citizen and they work approximately 129 days out of the year. Most Americans are working almost all year just to earn a living.

I know that if Andrew Jackson was around today most of these Congressman and Senators would have been horse whipped or hung for treason.

I believe we should vote every Democrat and Republican out of office and start with honest people willing to do for others first before themselves. Now don’t get me wrong there are some good people in office now but, if the Congressmen and Senators from either party had been doing their jobs this country would not be in the shape it is now. We need to break this power hold that they possess over us once and for all and take back this country. That position that they hold is a temporary one and it was not made to be permanent.

My wife’s grandmother always use to say “You could always trust a thief because you knew he was always going to steal from you, but you could never trust a liar”, and that’s because you never knew when he was going to tell you the truth!

Tax Reform for Your Family:

Have you ever wondered why the people who lived during the Great Depression where able to save money back then, and yet today we cannot even live from paycheck to paycheck without going to the cash station for an advance on our next paycheck?

The 16th amendment Taxation - James Madison, in discussing this Act before Congress identified a fundamental principal concerning the power delegated to Congress to lay and collect taxes:

“…a national revenue must be obtained; but the system must be such a one, that, while it secures the object of revenue it shall not be oppressive to our constituents.”

The federal tax code has been in need of change for far too long. It should be reformed based on three simple principles: fairness, simplicity and uniformity. We must reward American workers for their hard work, not separating their hard-earned money away from them to pay for programs they do not want. The tax system we presently have is obsolete and should be restructured to be fair and equitable for all people and business alike. If the government cannot live on what it takes in then why do we have to live on what we take in? I can’t go to the bank and say “Oh don’t worry about the overdraft I’ll make it up down the road”. It just doesn’t work that way.

When a person retires it should be their golden years and not years of wondering what soup can they’ll be eating out of next. Social Security is their money and they worked hard for it and they should be guaranteed the money they paid into the system with a fair rate of return. There should be no forced savings plan for its people. The people should be able to have the right to choose what they will do with their lives and their money. Because if the Government which was entrusted with the funds of the people was trustworthy the money that was placed in their hands would still be there and not missing from the coffer.

Alexander Hamilton once stated that:

“A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one.”

During Hamilton’s period when America was an emerging Nation, Hamilton was a strong advocate for a responsible central government with responsible federal finances. He new that a robust economy was a prerequisite for economic growth.

Taking Care of Our Own:

How about our Men and Women in Uniform? It’s ok for them to go to war to defend this great land, but what about when they return home maimed or dismembered? Do they receive the same care for their wounds and suffering? Or is it considered not our problem anymore?

If you served in the Military in a war zone and you were asking for help from the Veterans Administration it would take approximately 4 to 5 months for an approval of benefits for you. Not only would it take that long, but the amount of paper work required by them is astounding. If you are a Veteran and you are eligible for the funds then you should be able to fill out one form and receive your assistance, and everyone’s assistance should be the same. Not that you are required to supply them with a questionnaire as to how much Social Security you receive or the amount of money you have in the bank on hand as liquid funds.

I have been watching the television lately and I have seen how the American people themselves are coming forward to take care of their own. More and more men and women from across this land are donating to different organizations to give a helping hand to those in the military who have served this Nation and are in need of our help. Whether it is from and injury or just the pain and anguish they have gone through in the line of duty. No one who has served should ever be left behind. They should all be entitled to the best of care that one would give his or her son or daughter, and they should not have to beg for help after putting their life on the line in the service of this Country.

God and Country:

Someone once said to me that the Tea Party and its people are not of sound mind. Are they not like the people who were considered radicals when they threw the tea off of the ships into the harbor in protest for taxation without representation back when this country was first founded?

If you care not for yourself and what is about to happen to you. Then what about my grandchildren Tyler, Declan, Owen, and the children of your neighbor’s, nieces, nephews, sons and daughters and the unborn who are about to inherit and reap the destruction that we have sent upon them.

Maybe it’s not too late to ask for a little help. George Washington once did below, and this country was founded on that principal.

Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large. And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our Supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.’

So whatever a man thinks, so also does his heart lie. My heart lies with the People of this Country. My love is for God and Country and the right for every man, woman and child to be free. To live and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation. To share those gifts with others and to help those who are in need.

Experience:

Is it only the people in office that know what is good for us, or do we not have the right to defend ourselves from those telling us what is good for us and our families?

I like many people know the difference between what is right and what is wrong unlike our present Representatives in Government. The people that are now running this Country say that they are representing the people. They say they do but they do not. They are not in touch with the people themselves. Yes they have the money to bring them into the limelight but do they or can they speak from the heart to convey the message that needs to reach out to the American people? If they had done so we would not be in the predicament that we are in today.

Remember every human being knows the difference between right and wrong. We know the difference between the two but it is what we choose to do with the choices we make that makes a difference to our fellow man.

I believe that the person who does run for President of the United States should be a working man. Not one who has been in office for any length of time, and our Forefathers were just that. They had no experience yet they by the Grace of God built a Great Nation.

I believe that if such a man were to run for this office he would not have a problem with the people rallying around him for President of the United States.

Who or what am I?

You are probably wondering by now who or what am I? Am I a Democrat, or am I a Republican running for the office of President? I purposely left it off until now. I wanted you to read the entire page before you passed judgment on whether or not I was the right person for this position. Many of you probably would go either way by what was written but if you remember earlier I stated that:

When you were hired in as an employee of a company were you asked if you were a Democrat or a Republican or were you hired because you were the right person for the job?

I am a Republican running for the office of President. I meant not to deceive anyone in anyway but I just wanted you to read what I had to say. I wanted to convey to you of my past experiences, and what a father really feels about the love of his family. If you believe that what I have said is from the heart then please help me in my quest to become President of the United States and be a servant to its people.

Contributing to the cause:

There comes a time in our lives when one man cannot do it alone. He needs the help of other concerned citizens to step up and give him a helping hand. If I could do this by myself I would, but you and I both know that it is virtually impossible for any one man to take on this task without the help of fellow Americans like yourself. I am not asking for large sums of money, but whatever spare change you can afford to give. Whether it is the loose change in your pocket or a larger sum that will help move this campaign in the right direction. Either way whatever you can give means everything to me and the good of the Nation.

God Bless you in advance and thank you for your contribution.

Sincerely,
Michael Petyo
